Encompassing 1,350 miles of coastline on the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and many barrier islands, Florida is beach heaven. Almost every part of the state has at least a piece of beach where dogs are allowed, although on many they must be on a leash. Some beaches have a fenced area where dogs can run, and there are also some magnificent beaches where dogs can splash and roam off leash with their owners and truly enjoy freedom.
